A must-read resource to help you advance health equity across communities, organizations, cities and world regions.

In Health Equity: Strategies for Action, an array of pioneering health equity-focused researchers, educators, practitioners, and policy specialists from multiple sectors and disciplines deliver an incisive guide to health equity: why it matters, how to achieve it, and the state of the health equity movement across national and global settings.

Grounded in a multisectoral and community-driven approach to health equity solutions, this book walks you through key principles and practical approaches to advancing health equity and overcoming commonly encountered barriers to people's health and well-being, including key social, structural and political determinants of health. The book features effective action areas and strategiies to address health inequities across issues of racism, gender, immigration, poverty, age, and other socially-determined factors, and highlights relevant case studies and lessons learned.

Health Equity: Strategies for Action is an essential resource for graduate and undergraduate courses on the topic. Professionals in fields as broad as public health, architecture and urban planning, social work, medicine, technology, early childhood, healthcare, community development, human rights, philanthropy, vital statistics, and disability advocacy who seek to integrate a health equity lens in their work, will also find this to be a vital guidebook in furthering their health equity goals. Policymakers and elected officials can also use this book enhance their knowledge on health equity, an approach to improve health for all, whose importance will only continue to grow.
